Valorant Account Safety: 2FA, Phishing, and Recovery

Valorant accounts are targeted because their skins carry real money value and because Riot accounts link to payment methods and other Riot games. The protection stack is short: a unique password used nowhere else, Riot two-factor authentication, and a secure recovery email. Any one of those missing turns a phishing attempt into a successful theft.

Phishing pages mimicking Riot login, fake skin giveaways, and fake tournament or coaching offers are the usual routes in. Official Riot pages never ask for your password through a link, and no giveaway requires logging in through a third-party page. If a page asks for credentials, close it and open Riot's site yourself. If you already entered credentials, change the password and email password immediately and check sessions.

For trading, Riot's terms restrict account transfers, so support will not protect a traded account like an original owner's. Any deal therefore needs escrow with verified, complete transfer: Riot login, email, phone, and two-factor control, plus session termination, before payment releases. A seller who skips any of that is keeping a recovery path — and recovery paths get used.
